The spider mites target the ‘stomata’ of leaves - kind of like pores that regulate water retention in different environments - making it vulnerable to water loss. Eventually, when enough leaves shrivel up and fall from the plant, the plant can weaken and die. It’s possible to quell a spider mite problem, but it will require dedication.
